Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high. Working in batches, sear brisket slices 2 minutes per side without moving until edges char. Transfer to a plate.

  2. Step 2

    Add butter and beef broth to the skillet, scraping up browned bits. Return brisket slices and toss to coat, then reduce to medium-low and simmer 3 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    While brisket cooks, bake fries in a separate oven at 425°F for 12 minutes until golden and crispy.

  4. Step 4

    Arrange brisket on a plate. Sprinkle smoked paprika over the top, then pour pan sauce around the meat.

  5. Step 5

    Serve with crispy fries and a handful of dill pickle spears on the side.
